vesugen
LYS-GLU-ASP TRIPEPTIDE · 3 AA · KHAVINSON BIOREGULATOR · PRECLINICAL ONLY
also: KED · Lys-Glu-Asp · H-Lys-Glu-Asp-OH
Vesugen is the tripeptide Lys-Glu-Asp, marketed as a vascular ‘bioregulator’ within Khavinson's Cytogens range. Its published record is very small: molecular-docking and organotypic-culture work on endothelial and neuronal differentiation, an antihypoxia screen, a 5xFAD mouse Alzheimer's model, and one 32-patient Russian report in which it was given alongside a second peptide. No trial of Vesugen has been registered anywhere, and it does not appear in the originating group's own summary of clinical results for its peptide bioregulators.
// our evidence grade — unedited
Europe PMC returns ten records for Vesugen and nine of them have Khavinson as an author; there is no registered trial, the sole human report is 32 patients given Vesugen or Pinealon in a Russian-language gerontology journal, and the group's flagship KED animal paper required a 2025 correction because two confocal figures presented as separate male and female datasets were in fact the same images. Vesugen is also absent from the originating group's own review of clinical results.
We grade this compound and we sell it. The grade is set against our published criteria before any stocking decision and is not adjusted because it is in the catalogue.
